Strathglass and Affric Community Company

Strathglass and Affric Community Company is a community organisation based in Cannich, in the Scottish Highlands. It was set up in 2009 to protect local community facilities and improve life for people living in the surrounding area.
What do they do?
• Look after Cannich Village Hall: They brought the hall into community ownership after it was threatened with closure. The hall is now used for local events, activities, meetings and celebrations.
• Provide affordable housing: They worked with other organisations to turn a former nurses’ house into two affordable rented homes, helping local people find somewhere to live.
• Explore community landownership: They have a group looking at opportunities for the community to become more involved in decisions about land around Glen Affric.
• Bring the community together: They organise local events, including the Strathglass Gala, and support projects that benefit local residents.
• Plan for the future: They work with local people to identify priorities and improve the area.
